Now Cynder takes on King Dedede. Let's do this!
Cynder: Okay, am I hallucinating? Or is that really a penguin in a robe and hat holding a giant hammer?
Ignitus: You're not hallucinating, that's King Dedede, self-proclaimed ruler of Dream Land, perennial nemesis to Kirby.
Cynder: Self-proclaimed?
Ignitus: Try as I might, I can't seem to find anything officially declaring Dedede the hereditary monarch of Dream Land. That doesn't mean it doesn't exist. It just means I can't find it.
Cynder: As if Kirby's world wasn't weird enough, it's ruled by a penguin. Because of course. Only Nintendo could get away with marketing this weirdness.
Ignitus: To be fair, Kirby isn't supposed to make sense.
Cynder: True. So how do I knock this royal nuisance off the stage?
Ignitus: He's a heavyweight with a powerful hit, especially using that hammer, which, somehow, has rockets in it. And he can fly using the same method as Kirby. But he does have a move you can use against him. He'll occasionally throw a Gordo at you, and if you can knock him off the stage using it, that counts as a KO in your favor.
Cynder: Got it. Time to dethrone the penguin king!
That concludes Part I of the Silver Story Special. For Part II, head on over to Prophecy of Masks. Next time, we focus on a much smaller player in the Smash story. That being Olimar. And before anyone says it, no, there will not be a separate chapter for Alph. Alph is not an officially listed Echo Fighter, nor does he meet the same criteria as the Pokemon Trainer and another party later on down the line. But be sure to tune in for that anyways! Same time... same channel!
